Award Categories 2015

Whether your workplace or campus has seen success with walking, cycling, carsharing or public transport, there is a category for your organisation. We even have a category for our excellent Sustainable Travel Champions! Partners are invited to enter for as many categories as they wish.

Partners are invited to fill in a short entry form telling us about your/ your organisation's activities to promote different modes of transport as part of your workplace/ campus travel plan. There is no need for long essays or paragraphs! Simply tell us what you've achieved and how you achieved it and your results will speak volumes.

The deadline for entry into the Smarter Travel Awards 2015 is Friday the 13th of February 2015 - those who are superstitious can submit before that if you prefer! Your Facilitator will work with you on your action plan and your entry to make sure you are awards-ready.

A Picture Says a Thousand Words...

Remember to take photos of all of your actions and events over the coming months so you have a colourful and visual entry. Shortlisted Partners will be invited to display their case study at the awards ceremony.

Some of our Partners are already award winners for their work relating to sustainable travel. Children's University Hospital Temple Street are the proud recipients of a number of awards, including the Golden Pedal and Green Awards among others!

And in March 2015, the list will get even longer - contact us now to make sure you're on that list!

Your Facilitator can work with you over the coming months to implement actions and to monitor your successes.
